Singapore core inflation eases in May ’25

Singapore’s Core inflation in Singapore, tracked by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), fell to 0.6 per cent year-on-year in May 2025, from 0.7 per cent in April, driven mainly by lower food inflation, official data showed on Monday.

On a month-on-month basis, MAS Core Inflation was flat at 0.0 per cent in May, easing from previous months.

Meanwhile, CPI-All Items inflation also declined to 0.8 per cent year-on-year in May, compared to 0.9 per cent in April. The slowdown was attributed to easing private transport costs and lower core inflation.
